So for about 2 weeks now, my husband has been noticing that Echo has been making a noise. It's kinda hard to explain, but it sounds like when a cat has a hairball. He opens his mouth when he does it and it only happens a couple times, then it's over. The whole branch he is sitting on kinda shakes when he does it, but as soon as it's over, he goes about his business. I have now seen him do it twice, in the last 12 hours. Last night, when he was dead asleep, well after lights out. And then this morning, after basking a little while, and beginning to move around his cage. He eats and drinks fine, and has not lost any weight. He doesn't have any kind of discharge, noisy breathing, or bubbles. Could it just be the dryer air in the house, because of the furnace? Or could he have caught the bug that my daughter has? Even though he doesn't interact with her, his cage is in our living room, and therefore he's still breathing the same air we breathe. I'm just not sure if this is just something they normally do sometimes, or if it's something to warrant a vet trip in the middle of winter. @ferretinmyshoes , I think you're the forum vet, can you offer any help? Thanks in advance!
